Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen peeled and sliced peaches
- ½ cup (120g) small-curd cottage cheese
- ½ cup (120g) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
- 3–4 ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: peel and slice fresh peaches to make 1 cup or measure frozen peaches directly.
- Add cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to the blender.
- Pour in almond milk.
- Add honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and flaxseed or chia seeds.
- Add ice cubes if using fresh peaches for a chilled smoothie.
- Blend starting on low speed, then increase to high until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.
- Check consistency and flavor; add more almond milk if too thick or more honey if not sweet enough, then blend briefly again.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Frozen peaches work well and keep the smoothie cold. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese and Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and add vegan protein powder. Blend in stages to avoid lumps. Smoothies are best fresh but can be stored up to 24 hours refrigerated; stir before drinking.
